Elsie marley & Blog Archive & the quick little bunny tutorial. I really wanted to make the sock bunny that Heidi (from My Paper Crane) created, but I didn’t have any of those fantastic red and brown monkey socks.

What I do have is baby socks: tons of cute, mismatched, totally useless, never stay on baby socks. Now that my littlest is very much not an infant and too soon will be a toddler it seems kind of silly to keep all those teeny tiny socks. So I made a bunny out of them. And a tutorial too. This is indeed a quick little bunny. Materials: baby socka handful of stuffingheavy duty threadscissors Make that bunny: Before you start sewing take second to look at the sock you have. The body: Take some stuffing and stuff the foot part of the sock–not too tight! The tail: On the top of the bunny’s back, sew a circle about an inch in diameter with a simple running stitch. The head: To make the head, put a little stuffing inside the sock and sew a running stitch around the top of the heel.

The ears: Cut a big V shape out of the top of the sock. Kool-Aid Dyed Playsilks - Tried and True. A couple months ago I came upon a tutorial on The Artful Parent for Kool-Aid Dyed Playsilks.

Kool-Aid Dyed Playsilks - Tried and True

I hadn’t really heard about playsilks before that but upon further investigation found out that they’re awesome. They can be pretty much anything your child wants them to be: capes, dresses, blankets, scenery, tents and the list goes on and on. So, seven of us got together with our seven toddlers (all under 2 years) and dyed 42 playsilks in total. We started around 11 am and didn’t finish until about 5 pm. We did six scarves at a time, with the other mothers pitching in to watch the child of whoever was working on their playsilks. After we did the first batch of Kool-Aid packets, some of the mothers decided to get a bit creative with color combination and as a result we ended up with 14 different color at the end of the day.

Edit: Here are a few answers to some of the more popular questions posted in the comments. Where did you get your scarves/What size were they?
